On March 28, 2009, the New Jersey State Police responded to the area of milepost 77 on the Garden State Parkway for a report of a motor vehicle crash. An investigation by the New Jersey State Police Fatal Accident Unit and New Jersey State Police Crime Scene Unit revealed that a black Lincoln Town Car – operated by Yousaf and containing two passengers, Harris Kahn, 26, of Queens, New York, and Kishwa Jahan, 32, of Queens Village, New York – was traveling southbound on the Garden State Parkway when Yousaf lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle struck a roadway sign and continued into the wooded area, striking a tree and finally coming to rest.
